No easy answer, but a one inch long piece of metal is big. I hate to say it but I think you are to the pull it and inspect to see what is damaged. A 'crunch" from a diff is not a good noise.

 

Alternately what does the piece of metal look like ? If you have an LSD it could be a failed plate rather than gear.

Where do you live I have a 4.3 rear center section and a 4.6 center section with LSD. I would sell you one and it's easy to change.
